  • Perspectives on Doping in Pro Cycling - 2: Inga Thompson
    The Outer Line A Roadmap to Repair Pro Cycling http://www.theouterline.com Perspectives on Doping in Pro Cycling - 2: Inga Thompson (Editors’ Note: This article is the second in a series of in-depth personal narratives about the impact of doping on the lives of people within or now outside of the sport of pro cycling. This series presents alternative views of how the doping culture has proliferated in the sport; new revelations of how it has caused harm to the people, economics, and governance of the sport, and; why the Cycling Independent Reform Commission's charter needs to look farther back in time than 1998 to make a lasting difference. Through this, we hope to stir constructive debate about how the sport can come to terms with the past in order to find a new way forward. Watch for other articles and perspectives over the next several weeks.) Mention the name Inga Thompson to a modern cycling fan, and you might get a raised eyebrow. “Inga who?” But to fans and observers of the sport from the 1980s and early 1990s, Inga Thompson was perhaps one of the most successful and influential women in cycling. From her meteoric debut on the American scene in 1984, to her final major race – a dominating victory in the 1993 US Women’s National Road Race – Inga proved herself to be one of the greatest women’s racers the sport has ever seen. And yet right after that 1993 championship, Inga quietly packed up, moved away from her long- time residence in Reno, and for almost twenty years severed all ties with the sport and the people with whom she trained and competed.

  • Het Fenomeen “Poeske” Scherens
    KATHOLIEKE UNIVERSITEIT LEUVEN FACULTEIT LETTEREN MASTER IN DE GESCHIEDENIS Het fenomeen “Poeske” Scherens Promotor Masterproef Prof. dr. D. VANYSACKER ingediend door HERPELINCK FRAN Leuven 2010-2011 Voorwoord Alsof hij soms even tot leven kwam, in een literaire wielerflits. Alsof hij soms even aan de einder voorbijvloog, in een welgemikte ‘kattensprong’. Jef “Poeske” Scherens is al even niet meer onder ons, maar zijn sportieve adem, evenals de ziel van zijn tijdsperiode, zijn vervat in honderden documenten, in archieven overal te lande, in privé-collecties, in oude kranten en tijdschriften. Het afgelopen jaar was er een van puzzelwerk. Puzzelstukjes vinden, was geen probleem. Punt was te kijken welk stukje het meest authentiek was. Vele stukjes blonken immers buitensporig fel. Jef “Poeske” Scherens was een overstijgende persoonlijkheid, die zowel op als naast de fiets wist te fascineren. Als sprintende baanwielrenner kende hij in de periode tussen de Twee Wereldoorlogen, het interbellum van de twintigste eeuw, veruit zijn gelijke niet. Scherens was als ‘fenomeen’ een ‘idool’, die supporters deed juichen, journalisten in de pen deed kruipen en lyrische reacties aan hen ontlokte. In een fervente poging op zoek te gaan naar een kern van waarheid en tijdsgevoel, was het vaak noodzakelijk mezelf te berispen, wanneer enthousiasme primeerde op kritische zin. Het leven van Jef Scherens rolt zich dan ook uit als een lofdicht, dat doorheen de jaren haast niet aan charme heeft ingeboet. Na een intensieve kennismaking met “Poeske”, wielerheld en volksfiguur, was ik anderzijds terdege verwonderd . De laatste decennia kenden wielerbelangstelling en ‘koersliteratuur’ een enorme hausse . Kronieken, biografieën en poëtische werken worden gekleurd door noeste renners en wervelende persoonlijkheden - al kan er sprake zijn van een chronologische en pragmatische richtlijn.

Box 4162) Telephone: (03) 5224 2466 Fax: (03) 5224 2467 Email: [email protected] Web: www.caribou.net.au Bendigo Grand Prix/Victorian Open Road Cycling Championships November 8 ‐10, 2013 MEDIA RELEASE: Monday, November 4 TASSIE STAR SET TO TRIUMPH AT BENDIGO Tasmanian Mark Jamieson – whose trophy cabinet already glistens with gold, silver and bronze – is poised to build on his collection at the Victorian open road cycling championships in Bendigo this weekend. Jamieson, 29, will contest the time trial, road race and criterium at the three-day titles which incorporate the prestigious Bendigo Grand Prix, sponsored by Hume & Iser HoME Hardware and Andy’s Earthmovers. Based in Bendigo for the past 12 months, where he is undertaking an advanced diploma of building design, Jamieson as amassed an incredible record as a cyclist, especially on the track. He won the world junior individual pursuit championship in Melbourne in 2006, was a member of Australia’s gold medal-winning pursuit team at the world titles in Bordeaux, France, in 2006, and gained silver in the teams pursuit at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, also in 2006. An Olympic medal narrowly eluded him at the Beijing Games in 2008 when the Australian team of Jamieson, Bradley McGee, Jack Bobridge and Luke Roberts surprisingly lost the ride-off for third place against New Zealand. His victories also include nearly 20 gold medals in senior and junior competition at national track championships. Jamieson maintains his passion for cycling but, as he concentrates on full-time study at Bendigo TAFE, he is no longer pressured by the intensity of competing on the international stage.
